As much as I wish that it would. Rush's power base is too powerful. It is truly astounding his power. Don Imus hit the road about a spontaneous series of statements made as part of a dialogue with another who started the process. Not saying he should not have been shown the door.
Three days of premediated attacks about Ms. Fluke's sex life based on absolutely nothing, and he is still standing. It is amazing.
I have read that Rush is now scrubbing the transcript. Also Obama's SuperPAC is come out against Bill Maher (but I think they are keeping the money).
The SuperPAC head also mentioned Ted Nugent and how Romney sought for and received an endorsement for the man. Here is a choice quote from Rolling Stone to innoculate from Bill Maher.
Renegade right-winger Ted Nugent recently went on a vicious onstage rant in which he threatened the lives of Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Decked out in full-on camouflage hunting gear, Nugent wielded two machine guns while raging, "Obama, he's a piece of shit. I told him to suck on my machine gun. Hey Hillary," he continued. "You might want to ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless bitch." Nugent summed up his eloquent speech by screaming "freedom!"

By the way he referred to Feinstein as a "worthless whore". Someone needs to ask Romney how he likes the endorsement.
Another choice one. Directly in line with Maher.
